Custom Quarter Zips for Distributors & Corporate Programs
Custom quarter zips serve a different role than standard apparel. They’re made for layering, long wear, and use across seasons. This makes them a staple in corporate and event apparel programs.
At Fairway Brands, we make custom dye-sublimated quarter-zips. Our focus is on distributors and organizations that need reliable reorders and long-term programs.
We start with a minimum of 36 pieces per style. This approach works for pilot programs and larger distributions. You get customization and quality without any compromises.
Designed for Programs That Extend Beyond a Single Event
Quarter zips are rarely one-time-use garments. They are typically worn:
- Across multiple seasons
- In both indoor and outdoor environments
- By teams that require consistent layering options
- In corporate, golf, and travel settings
This makes them especially valuable for:
- Distributor-managed apparel programs
- Corporate teams with ongoing apparel needs
- Golf tournaments and recurring events
- Organizations with year-round branding requirements
Quarter zips stand out from regular promotional apparel. They keep their shape, comfort, and look good for a long time.
Why Quarter Zips Require a Different Manufacturing Approach
Because of their role as a layering piece, quarter zips demand more from both fabric and construction.
At Fairway Brands, production is built around:
- Structured garment construction for consistent fit
- Midweight performance fabrics suited for layering
- Controlled material selection across reorders
- Consistent sizing across production runs
This ensures that every reorder maintains the same feel and fit, which are critical for programs that span teams, locations, or seasons.
Performance Fabric Built for Layering and Movement
Custom quarter zips are designed to perform across a range of conditions.
- Breathable materials that regulate temperature
- Midweight fabrics that layer without bulk
- Stretch construction for mobility
- Durable finishes that maintain structure over time
Our quarter zips are made from 89% polyester / 11% spandex, 260 GSM midweight performance fabric
Consistent Reorders Without Reworking the Process
Quarter zip programs often involve repeat orders over time. To support this, we build every program with:
- Fixed design specifications
- Controlled color standards
- Repeatable production workflows
This allows distributors and organizations to reorder confidently, knowing the next batch will match the original.
Minimum order quantity starts at 36 pieces per style, enabling testing and scaling without excess inventory.
Why Dye-Sublimation Works for Quarter Zips
Quarter zips are worn frequently, which makes durability critical. Our dye-sublimation process ensures:
- No cracking or peeling with repeated wear
- No fading after washing
- A clean, integrated design finish
- Long-term consistency across reorders
Because the design becomes part of the fabric, it maintains its appearance even under regular use.
